HOT, HOT, HOT!!!
It is that time of year again when we lay in our bed with the fan going in the middle of the afternoon in order to escape the heat. It was 92 degrees today and is supposed to climb to 95 tomorrow. All our plants in the yard are suffering this week and are ready for the rain. Of course, those of my family in Nebraska are probably saying, 92 degrees is nothing. It is true but not when there is no air conditioner in sight.

I guess I should not complain as our friend Jon is in Tete this minute and he just sent me a message saying that it is 120 degrees in Tete and that his room is at 115. What is worse is that there is absolutely no wind today. Everything is baking.

Fortunately there is rain in the forecast for this week and when it heats up like this it is usually the case that a change is coming soon. This will be welcome news, though it is bound to be a heavy downpour. The weather forecasters are predicting a year of flooding and are alerting people as such so they can be prepared this year. Especially those who live in lowlands and along the river banks where flooding often occurs.
